2000-"i must still protest doctor." the head of the institute repeated, pacing back and forth in front of the glass-walled biolab. "it's too soon to expect a viable clone. and with such an unusual choice of donor, i am doubly concerned." doctor Anya Smirmoff shook her head. "all the test results have come out positive so far, and as you can see, the birthing was a success." she pointed through the wall, where the tiger mother lay, nursing the newborn. the director shook his head sadly at the impetousness of youth, as the male cub yawned, his sandy coloration much different from his carrier, his tiny sabre fangs showing. "very well. i'll give you the usual time to verify your findings, but if this one turns out like the others, you know what you'll have to do." he left and Anya looked in at the cats. "you'll make it." she mumured softly to the cub. "i just know it."
that night, Anya was working late, collating her readings and drinking lots of coffee. she leant back in her chair, and switched on the radio. "avoid windows. we repeat, heavy meteor showers are occuring worldwide. whether these are connected with the close passage of the comet, scientists are uncertain, but we urge all citizens to stay in their homes and avoid windows." she turned it off and sat for a moment, then stood and walked over to the biolab window. "we'll be safe in here." she cooed to the cats, resting her hand on the plastiglass wall. as she turned to go, the world seemed to explode. with a scream of tearing steel and glass, the roof erupted inwards and she was thrown violently backwards. dazed and bleeding from several small cuts, she crawled on her hands and knees towards the broken wall. inside, a rock roughly the size of a basketball lay, near the broken body of the tigress. she clambered inside stiffly, unheeding of the cuts she received on her hands, as she frantically searched for the cub. adrenalin surging through her, she moved stanchions until she found him. he was cut, but still alive, having been shielded by his dead mothers body. she picked him up gently and held him, sobbing with relief. as the adrenalin surge wore off, she felt dizzy and weak. she started to pass out, and just before she did, she saw that the meteor fragment was glowing with an unearthly multicolored light. she was able to see that she and the cub had the same glow, then all went black.
when she awoke, it was in the labs medical section. "unhh how long was i out?" the doctor came to her bedside. "three days. how do you feel?" she felt over her head and body. "i, i feel fine. but i was cut, bruised, how did i heal so fast?" the director stepped forward. "we don't know, but i'm glad youre awake." she sat up. "and the project?" the director shook his head. "it survived, but im going to recommend termination to the board." she looked at him aghast. "what?!" the director sighed "its wounds have also healed, but its a killer at heart, its too dangerous to remain alive. "she tried to get out of the bed. "you can't, ive spent years on this project, you cant just kill it out of hand!" the orderlies tried to restrain her, but she still struggled. "i'm sorry Anya." the director said as he turned to leave. "NO!" she cried, her heart beating faster. "you can't!!" she felt a surge of strength and with what felt like ease, tossed the orderlies aside. "i won't let you!" she growled, her throat feeling raspy. she jumped out of the bed, advancing on the director. "no, keep back!" he gasped in horror and she caught her reflection in the monitor screen by her bed. she was hideous, her body was growing a thick pelt of hair and her face was changing, becoming more bestial, animal-like. she looked down at her hands, now more like paws. she looked up at the director and felt a surge of rage at this human who would harm her 'child.' with one sweep of her arm, she knocked him aside, and charged down the corridor, snarling and roaring. she burst into the bio-lab and scooped up the cub from his isolation chamber. as she tore down the halls towards the exit, she was intercepted by security. she grinned slowly, showing off her fangs, and charged. experienced as they were with human intruders, they were no match for her enhanced speed, strength, and reflexes. leaving them, bledding but alive, on the floor, she ran across the courtyard and was soon gone into the surrounding woods, the cub nestled safely in her arm. "mommy will protect you." she told the cub, as she left her old life behind, possibly forever.
2003-"mommy!" the cub laughed as she picked him up, twirling him round in the air. "hey Rhago, you have a good hunt?" he proudly held up a small rabbit, his saberfangs spattered with red. "thats my boy." she cooed, holding him close. "c'mon, lets get you measured." she led the young cub into the bedroom of her small cabin, where they had lived since their escape. she smiled a little grimly as she remembered the govt crackdown on the institute, especially when more of 'their kind' had started to appear worldwide. she smiled and stroked the hair of her 'son.' it had been a hard life at first, but she had never regretted leaving the old one behind. it had been a struggle to control her own transformations, but she had managed at last and she had taken great joy in teaching him to hunt. he stood by the marks along the bedroom doorframe and she made another one. "goodness me, another foot. at this rate you'll be as tall as me in no time." the cub hugged her. "i love you mommy." she smiled tenderly and tapped his nose with a finger. "and i love you Rhago." she nuzzled him. "what do we hunt?" he giggled, licking her hand. "rabbits and deer." she nodded and smiled. "and people?" he shook his head. "nuhuh, never hunt or hurt people." she kissed his nose. "good lad. now go wash up."
2005-"thanks mom." Rhago put down his plate. "no, you stay put, i'll do the dishes." Anya smiled as she watched her son work at the sink, his short tail twitching. a mere 3 years after his birth and here he was full grown. "and so handsome' she thought. he was strong and wiry, his claws were sharp from care and use and he had become an excellent hunter. "i'm going for a run. i'll see you later." he rumbled. she looked up at him and his bright yellow eyes and nodded. "be careful how you go." he hardly smiled or showed emotion, but she could tell how he really felt. after all, she knew how difficult it was for him to restrain his feral instincts, from her experiences with her own animal form. she stood at the window, watching as he ran off into the woods, feeling so proud as she watched her young sabretooth go through his paces.
2007-Rhago stood before the mirror in the changing room, adjusting his uniform. he hadnt been at this job long and he was determined to do his best. when Anya had gotten work at a research lab, he had come along and joined the institutes security force. he fiddled with the collar then caught himself. he knew full well why he was fussing over his clothes, it was her. as if on cue, a slender snowleopard walked past and waved to him. "hey Rhago." she smiled and his heart flipflopped. "hi Eve." he managed to say. he was glad he was wearing pants as his sheath stirred. he got hold of himself and went on his rounds. later as he was passing the lab where Eve worked with his mother, he noticed a rack of beakers on a shelf begin to shift. he felt the hunters surge and dashed in, pushing Eve aside as the beaker rack tilted. she looked up at him with surprise and some shock then he screamed as fire stabbed him in the back. when he came to, he was laying face down on a bed and eve was sitting by it. "welcome back tiger." he started to lift himself and she shook her head. "no. dont get up, youll hurt yourself." he lowered back to the bed and felt a dull ache on his shoulderblades. "what happened?' she smiled. "you pushed me out of the way just in time, but you got a splash of so2 on your upper back. its a caustic acid." she leant over and purred. "you saved me, thank you. "she tenderly kissed his cheek.
fortunately his fur had protected him from very serious burns but it still took a little while to be ready for duty again. Eve tended him, changing his dressings and keeping him from fooling with his scars. at last the scars were almost fully healed and he was strong again. she came over to his house, dressed in a soft dress and a nervous smile. "hello, may i come in?" he let her in and inhaled her sweet scent. she sat down and fiddled with her paws. "Rhago, i have something to say. i care for you, and its not because you saved me. youre kind and gentle and a great freind." he sat by her and she touched his face in a way she never had before. "i love you Rhago." his mind exploded into a thousand sparks and his heart soared."i love you too Eve." they kissed as more than freinds and soon the kiss deepened. they looked at each other and kissed with passion, their paws tugging at each others clothes.
they entered the bed room and she lay back on the bed, smiling up at him. "run your paws over me." he knelt by the bed and stroked her soft fur. he felt the stirring again and his sheath responded, his shaft swelling at her soft sounds and the scent coming from her cunny slit. he touched her nipples and she moaned. his heart pounded and he stroked and carressed them, his shaft thickening fully at how she shivered and whimpered, her nipples hard and stiff. "touch mm touch me between my legs." she panted and he gingerly stroked her wet cunny. at his touch she bit her lip and whimpered, amd he moved his paw back. "did i hurt you." she shook her head and reaching down, took his paw and put it back on her cunny."nuu no, youre doing nn it right. don't stt, stop." he rubbed and stroked and she moaned and writhed a little, her cunny dripping juices. "keep huh keep ruhh rubbing." she gasped, and when the tip of his fingers brushed her clit she bit her lip and keened, cumming with a rippling of her body. he moaned with her as she came. "youre beuatiful Eve." he panted and she gasped for breath. "lay on top of mm mee." she said, opening her legs wide. he did so, a little clumsily, and held her close. she groaned at the feel of his hot body pressing to hers and took his shaft in her paws. he gasped and purrred deeply and she lined him up with her slit. "push ohh push it into me, slowlyyy." she whined and as he slid into her depths, she gripped his thighs and groaned. "muhh more, oh god." she pushed up into him and they both groaned at the incredible feeling. "Rhago, hhnnhh." she gasped and when he pressed into her fully, she gripped his ass and keened loudly, cumming harder. he growled and closed his eyes as her cunny gripped and danced round him. she pulled on his ass. "muhh omm move in and ouut.." her gasps were loud and her eyes were wild as he made love to her, slowly at first, then his instincts made him move faster. she arched and screamed, her juices soaking their thighs, and he roared as he came, his balls tightening as his previously virgin shaft flooded her with a huge load of sweet hot cum. she yowled and held him tightly, their bodies bucking and shivering as they came together.
2011-"daddy!" Eve smiled tenderly as their 3 year old son ran up to him and hugged him round the waist. he was the image of his father, though he lacked the sabre fangs. "hey there Diago." Rhago purred, stroking his hair. Eve walked over and kissed him. "how was work today?" he picked up his giggling son and walked into the living room, putting him down in his lap as he sat down. "not too bad." she ran one of her paws over his shoulder, careful of the small scars. "i wish you'd find a different line of work." she sighed, her other paw on her half swollen stomach. he looked up at her tenderly. "security work is so dangerous." he reached up and took her paw, squeezing it lightly. "i love you, and i promise to be careful, for you and Diago." she nudged him with her tummy. "and the cub?" he purred. "yes, and the cub."
as Rhago was walking to his car after work, his ears perked at a sound. "just hand over the purse lady." the three hoods said as they surrounded their vixen victim. Rhago perked his ears and slipped into the alley silently, all his ancient instincts alert. "hey, she's not bad, maybe we can get a little sugar." one of them leered. Rhago moved up like a shadow and gripped him by the shoulder, flinging him back into the wall, where he slumped down out cold. "who..JESUS!" the leader gasped as Rhago grinned, showing off all his fangs. the hood grabbed for his knife, then went down clutching himself at a swift and highly accurate kick from the 'helpless' victim. the third guy just stood and looked up at the tall sabretooth, then his eyes rolled back in his head and he fainted dead away. "are you alright, miss...?" she adjusted her clothing and smiled. "Sabrina, Sabrina Foxtail." she was quite attractive, her grey fur shimmering and her slightly curled brown hair spilling over her shoulders. "is there some way i can repay you?" he shook his head. "just doing my job miss." she reached into her purse and took out a card. "if you change your mind, give me a call." he took it and read what it said. 'furry inc adult film studios.' he looked up at her and she smiled, "jobs are always open." she kissed his cheek and walked off.
and then uhhh she offered ohh me a juhh job." Rhago panted and moaned as Eve licked up his long shaft, gathering the pre on her tongue. she licked her lips and smiled. "maybe you should see how it goes." she licked along the cockslit and he groaned. "mm youre so tasty. "she fondled his balls. "it has to be safer, and with the new cub on the way a little extra money cant hurt." he nodded and grunted as she took him halfway into her mouth.
later, as he held her sleeping body close, her paws resting on her stomach bulge, he looked at her profile and gently brushed a little hair from her face. in the other room he could hear diago snoring softly, and he purred softly. 'i'll do it, for them.' he thought, then curled up and slept soundly.
2013-Rhago stumbled into his room and collapsed onto the bed, breathing hard. he picked up the phone and dialed home. "hello. oh hey sweetie." Anya purred as she held the sleeping girlcub on her lap. "how's work?" he moaned and she giggled. "i thought Eve was insatiable till i started working here. any excuse for these furres will do." he rumbled and she laughed softly. "how are the kids?" she purred as she cradled the 2 year old more securely. "Diago stayed up late, he's curled up by the fireplace, and Ruth is in my lap right now." he sat up. "i miss them, tell them daddy loves them." she smiled to herself. "i will. are you wearing the harness?" he chuckled. "you bet, it was a present from Eve." she purred. "i'll see you soon Rhago, have fun." he blew a kiss into the phone. "love you too 'grandma'. bye." he hung up and lay back, soon fast asleep.
"Rhago? Rhago?" the snow leopardess shook the young sabre's shoulder. Rhago wore a metal collar and metal wristbands. Chains connected his bands to his collar. "Rhago, get up." The leopard shook him again. Rhago woke, his yellow eyes looking at her. "Eve?" she flicked her tail. "Mornin', tiger. missed you at home. Seems to me you had a nice little dream though." She pointed to his crotch. He looked down and noticed his nice little collection of cum. "i crashed here, they wore me out last night." she ran her paw up his hard shaft and he quivered. "thinking of me?" he nodded and moaned as she gripped him firmly, stroking slowly. "no sense letting this go to waste."she giggled and moved up over him. smiling down at him. she half closed her eyes and moaned as she moved down his shaft slowly, sheathing him in her cunny. when she had him all in, she gasped and shivered, having a small orgasm. "how unhh do i mmnnn take this all the ohhmmm time?" she panted as she rode him slowly. "practice." he grunted, holding her waist as he moved his hips up into her. she keened softly and gripped his shoulders. "how huh are uhh the kk, kiiddsss?" she stammered and he moved her a bit faster. "they mm miis us." he moaned, feeling her inner muscles begin to tense. she tilted her head back and yowled, cumming hard, her fluids running over his thighs. he groaned and came with her, his cum surging into her. she screamed again, and lay over him sobbing with pleasure."ohhh gods, you always amaze" she moaned and purred, nuzzling his chest.
she licked his fur tenderly, her head resting on her handsome husbands chest. "i love you. " he purred and stroked her hair." i love you." she sat up and started to comb out her matted fur. "how are the kids?" he smiled toothily. "mom is taking care of them, shes spoiling them rotten." Eve giggled. "with you here and me so busy at the lab lately its great to have a reliable babysitter. he sat up and stroked a finger down her back and she purred deeply. "mmmm." he moved up and held her closely. "its so sweet of you to visit." she turned her head and nuzzled him. "can't make do with beakers and test-tubes all the time." she grinned and he chuckled. he kissed her softly and she sighed blissfully.
"i'm home!" Rhago called as he entered his house. a furry rocket cannoned into him. "daddy! i missed you daddy!" he oofed and held Diago, chuckling down at him. he stroked his headfur then looked up and his eyes softened. "dada." ruth gaed as she toddled forward, her little arms outstretched, a sweet smile on her face. diago hugged Eve as she came in right after and Rhago crouched down holding his paws out to his little snowleopardess daughter. she toddled to him and he held her tightly, purring and cooing. from the kitchen doorway, Anya smiled. her thoughts went back to that night in the lab, and she knew that she wouldnt change a thing. she joined the family and hugged them all, so very proud of her noble son.
the end
authors note- i liked the idea of the cloning and a second look at the Change of 2000. if my work can be said to have a theme, its looking beyond outward appearances. with this story, i think i showed that even a supposed 'natural killer' can do so much more than hunt.
